Penis: This is the


male organ used in
sexual intercourse.
It has three parts:
the root, which
attaches to the wall
of the abdomen; the
body, or shaft; and
the glans, which is
the cone-shaped
part at the end of
the penis.

2.Semen, which
contains sperm
(reproductive
cells), is expelled
(ejaculated)
through the end of
the penis when
the man reaches
sexual climax
(orgasm).
3.Scrotum: This is
the loose pouch-
like sac of skin
that hangs behind
and below the
penis.

4.Testicles (testes):
These are oval
organs about the
size of large olives
that lie in the
scrotum,
secured at either
end by a structure
called the spermatic
cord. Most men
have two testes.
5.Epididymis: The
epididymis is a long,
coiled tube that rests
on the backside of
each testicle.
6. Vas deferens:
The vas deferens is
a long, muscular
tube that travels
from the
epididymis into the
pelvic cavity, to just
behind the bladder.
7. Ejaculatory ducts:
These are formed by
the fusion of the vas
deferens and the
seminal vesicles (see
below).
8. Urethra: The
urethra is the tube
that carries urine
from the bladder to
outside of the body.
9. Seminal vesicles:
The seminal vesicles
are sac-like pouches
that attach to the vas
deferens near the
base of the bladder.
10. Prostate gland:
The prostate gland is
a walnut-sized
structure that is
located below the
urinary bladder in
front of the rectum.
11. Bulbourethral
glands: Also called
Cowper's glands,
these are pea-sized
structures located on
the sides of the
urethra just below
the prostate gland.
